Product Description: Based on the hit movie franchise, LETHAL WEAPON tells the story of classic cop duo Riggs and Murtaugh, as they work a crime-ridden beat in modern-day Los Angeles. Grief-stricken after the loss of his family, Martin Riggs moves to California to “start over” at the LAPD. He’s paired up with Roger Murtaugh, who’s back on the job after a near-fatal heart attack. Riggs’ penchant for diving into the line of fire clashes with Murtaugh’s by-the-book technique. It’s clear from the moment they meet, that this partnership is doomed. But during their first case together, Riggs drags Murtaugh on a freeway chase and into a shootout with drug dealers – and despite his protests, the older cop feels more alive than he has in years.

The new season finds the Pfeffermans undertaking a spiritual and political journey as they dig deep into their family's history when Maura (Jeffrey Tambor) receives an exciting offer to speak at a conference in Tel Aviv.

The fourth season of the TV series "Gotham" premieres tonight on Fox at 8p. The new season, subtitled "A Dark Knight", finds James Gordon (Ben McKenzie) and Harvey Bullock (Donal Logue) continuing their crusade to keep Gotham safe from an impressive array of twisted criminals.

Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne (David Mazouz) is on his way to becoming the city's Dark Knight, and Don Falcone's daughter Sofia Falcone (Crystal Reed) returns to Gotham after 10 years. The series will also introduce another classic villain, The Scarecrow, after initiating his origin story in the show's first season.

"Mother!" is a psychological horror film written and directed by Darren Aronofsky ("Black Swan"). The film's plot would generally be described as following a couple, played by Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem, whose relationship is strained by the arrival of uninvited guests at their home, followed by events that disrupt their tranquil existence.

The narrative, however, should actually be interpreted as an allegory. Aronofsky describes the film as using a "a dream-logic narrative" and that it's a "psychological freak-out" that shouldn't be over-explained. This has led to some controversy as audiences were left confused, especially since the film's marketing has been misleading.

All this resulted in a rare CinemaScore "F" grade from moviegoers and a weak $7.5 million debut. Critics were also somewhat divided on the film's merits. Some praised the director's thought-provoking vision and artistic integrity, while others considered it too outlandish and pretentious.

Paramount chose to release a public statement defending the film: "This movie is very audacious and brave. You are talking about a director at the top of his game, and an actress at the top her game. They made a movie that was intended to be bold. Everyone wants original filmmaking, and everyone celebrates Netflix when they tell a story no one else wants to tell. This is our version. We don’t want all movies to be safe. And it’s okay if some people don’t like it."
